// What's wrong with compiler generated code? Because of the nature of
// C language, compiler doesn't [dare to] reorder load and stores. But
// being memory-bound, RC4 should benefit from reorder [on in-order-
// execution core such as IA-64]. But what can we reorder? At the very
// least we can safely reorder references to key schedule in respect
// to input and output streams. Secondly, from the first [close] glance
// it appeared that it's possible to pull up some references to
// elements of the key schedule itself. Original rationale ["prior
// loads are not safe only for "degenerated" key schedule, when some
// elements equal to the same value"] was kind of sloppy. I should have
// formulated as it really was: if we assume that pulling up reference
// to key[x+1] is not safe, then it would mean that key schedule would
// "degenerate," which is never the case. The problem is that this
// holds true in respect to references to key[x], but not to key[y].
// Legitimate "collisions" do occur within every 256^2 bytes window.
// Fortunately there're enough free instruction slots to keep prior
// reference to key[x+1], detect "collision" and compensate for it.
// All this without sacrificing a single clock cycle:-) Throughput is
// ~210MBps on 900MHz CPU, which is is >3x faster than gcc generated
// code and +30% - if compared to HP-UX C. Unrolling loop below should
// give >30% on top of that...

// The loop is scheduled for 4*(n+2) spin-rate on Itanium 2, which
// theoretically gives asymptotic performance of clock frequency
// divided by 4 bytes per seconds, or 400MBps on 1.6GHz CPU. This is
// for sizeof(RC4_INT)==4. For smaller RC4_INT STKEY inadvertently
// splits the last bundle and you end up with 5*n spin-rate:-(
// Originally the loop was scheduled for 3*n and relied on key
// schedule to be aligned at 256*sizeof(RC4_INT) boundary. But
// *(out++)=dat, which maps to st1, had same effect [inadvertent
// bundle split] and holded the loop back. Rescheduling for 4*n
// made it possible to eliminate dependence on specific alignment
// and allow OpenSSH keep "abusing" our API. Reaching for 3*n would
// require unrolling, sticking to variable shift instruction for
// collecting output [to avoid starvation for integer shifter] and
// copying of key schedule to controlled place in stack [so that
// deposit instruction can serve as substitute for whole
// key->data+((x&255)<<log2(sizeof(key->data[0])))]...
